The study of subjects who never learn the written representation of language is important because it allows us (1) to understand how oral language processing can be modified through learning a grapheme-phoneme matching operation, (2) to understand if different areas of the brain are involved in the processing of oral language when comparing literate and illiterate subjects, (3) to identify adequate neuropsychological instruments to assess cognitive dysfunction due to brain lesions in poorly educated persons, and (4) to study possible alternative cognitive strategies spontaneously developed by illiterate subjects that may be useful for rehabilitation.Results from the literature are reviewed and new data from our current research in this field are reported.

“…The evaluation consisted of an interview with the patients and their relatives and application of the Montreal-Toulouse Language Assessment Protocol (Alpha version) and the CERAD Neuropsychological Test Battery (Verbal fluency). The Protocol was first used in Brazil in a multicenter study conducted with individuals from Pernambuco state by Lecours et al (24) . Thus the Protocol presents characteristics that fit the reality of this population, such as regional matters and schooling.…”

RESUMO Objetivo Caracterizar o perfil dos quadros afásicos determinados pela hemorragia subaracnóidea aneurismática (HSA) da artéria cerebral média esquerda. Método Estudo analítico, retrospectivo, transversal, tendo como banco de dados as avaliações cognitivas de 193 pacientes do Hospital da Restauração com HSA aneurismática no período de março de 2007 a novembro de 2009. Destes, foram selecionados 26 pacientes com HSA em território da ACM-E, confirmada por angiografia digital. Os quadros afásicos foram classificados através do desempenho da linguagem dos pacientes através do Protocolo Montreal Toulose - Versão Alpha e a tarefa de fluência verbal da bateria CERAD. A pesquisa foi realizada no período de junho a agosto de 2015. Resultados Foi identificado comprometimento da linguagem e fluência verbal nos pacientes com HSA em território de ACM–E quando comparados com a população controle (50 indivíduos). Dos 26 pacientes com HSA, 11 apresentaram quadros afásicos ainda no período pré-operatório. Conclusão Os resultados da pesquisa corroboram com a literatura, mostrando que o quadro da HSA promove comprometimentos cognitivos ainda na fase pré-operatória para oclusão de aneurisma. Tendo em vista os aspectos observados, os quadros afásicos predominantes caracterizam afasia de compreensão por sequelas nas áreas cerebrais posteriores.

“…Language assessments were performed on the whole patient sample using three different language tests, namely: the Montreal Toulouse battery (alpha version) 6 , the Boston naming test 7 , and the verbal fluency test (FAS) 8,9 . The Montreal Toulouse protocol is an excellent complete test for making a differential diagnosis of aphasia and it consists of the following tasks: guided interview; oral comprehension using words, simple and complex sentences; written comprehension using words, simple and complex sentences; copying of written sentences; word and sentence dictation; reading, repetition, and naming 10 .…”

Aphasia is a language disorder associated with focal brain lesions. Although the topographic definition of the language area has been widely accepted, there is not necessarily any direct correlation between the lesion site and the manifested symptoms. Objective: To analyze aspects of language in aphasics in relation to lesion topography. Methods: A prospective, descriptive study of qualitative nature was conducted on 31 individuals, aged older than 15 years, with at least three years of schooling, and a confirmed diagnosis of stroke. Language assessment was carried out using the Montreal Toulouse battery (alpha version), Boston naming test, and FAS test. Language test results were compared against lesion topography findings from magnetic resonance imaging. Results: Heterogeneous results were found when comparing topography with aphasia, non-aphasia, and performance on language scales. Conclusion: No direct relationship was evident between lesion topography, aphasia, and language test performance.
